We empower people to break through barriers, find their inner purpose and contribute their very best to the world.
Now, more than ever, we need to believe that What’s Within Us Is Stronger Than What’s In Our Way. Through transformative online and in-person experiences, tools and inspiration, we help people tap into their inner hope, optimism and resilience. In the process, we foster a community of curious, brave and collaborative explorers who are determined to live the No Barriers Life. People are struggling with isolation, a loss of community, mental health challenges, fear and uncertainty. 2020 reminds us that none of us is immune to struggle. Adversity doesn’t care about race, class, creed, color, job title or location. No Barriers has helped tens of thousands of people facing these very issues for the past twenty years—by tapping into the light inside of each of us that knows we can get through it. Despite the barriers—both big and small—that each of us face, we can learn how to push past them, reconnect with our purpose, and unleash the best in ourselves and others.

Get involved. Be forever changed.
Join our newsletterTo say I am grateful for the experience that unfolded does not seem to come even close to expressing the emotion I am really feeling. As I witnessed courage and transformation happening all around me, it allowed me to access and be present with a part of myself I thought no longer existed. But witnessing the strength of others and being surrounded by so many people lifting each other up was more powerful than any counseling or medication and I can honestly say I feel forever changed. Thanks to you, for the first time in a long time, the smile that I wear on my face (so no one else knows what’s going on inside) is real and also in my heart.
